Rest in Peace Frank

The industry is mourning the loss of our dear friend Frank "The Real Deal" Kaisler. Frank was a kind soul and a true gentleman from the first day we met him. He will be deeply missed by all.

Bill Bryant wrote a three-part series with Frank that hit the site in 2011 "Frank Kaisler was a contributing editor to Easyriders magazine starting in 1973 and moved on to be its editor from 1982 to 1987. He's been involved in every aspect of the chopper game and has seen plenty of good and bad people and trends come and go. A competent machinist, mechanic, and customizer, Kaisler is still going strong. A regular at the Long Beach Swap Meet in SoCal, Frank knows and helps lots of the younger guys.

Frank's not some old dude who lives in a cave; he's aware of today's scene and more interested than ever. Although Frank has been there and done that long before many ChopCult members were even born, he always makes time to shoot the shit with just about anyone. If you you are lucky enough, he'll sometimes pepper those conversations with stories from the glory days of choppers." Read more.
